[Jeremy Garchow] ” You seem to paint this picture in a very bad light.”
I think that ‘cos Apple is gonna prioritize their own gear in the future.
If then your camera is shooting some kind of MOV envelope it’ll be fine.
If not…Better have an iThing camera instead? That can’t be good.I may be writing things off a bit too soon, and I grant you that.
But I see a pattern developing here. And it may take a lot of time, indeed.Portability is great at Apple, hence their laptop line shining golden sparks.
In the next few years, I believe FCPX and Apple gear will do cool stuff, yes.
But how will this same portability logic hold for “pro-use” further in time?How are we gonna use an iPad for all situations is beyond me.
(Assuming that Apple eventually drops computers and focus only on iPads.) -
Yes, it was the DPS Perception, indeed.
Very good in animation for broadcast work. -
I believe they kept some features and Apps due to the transition.
By doing so, they can keep some of their users base as well
They are still selling Mac Pros, iMacs and Minis for that matter.But once the transition to iOS and iPad is complete, they will drop them.
Or more likely, adapt some of them for that upcoming scenario.Apple taking a lead onto this emerging computer market is what Jobs wanted.
He had a prototype of the tablet/iOS more than ten years ago.They know what they are doing.

Speed Razor…
Coupled with a Targa it rendered video to sequential TGAs, BMPs, etc.
Then you could just take those directly to After Effects on another box.
Or to any other effect oriented software. -
[Craig Seeman] “Not likely at all. There’s no basis for this. Just as Randy Ubillos wanted to call iMovie, First Cut. there will be two apps for two different skill levels. There’s no economic or business sense to have just a $300 app or just a Free app”
My call is not unlikely at all. Not feasible today, I grant you that. But, not if
the iPhone+iPod+iPad line along with App Store/iTunes becomes 100% what Apple is.
Wouldn’t make business sense if they consolidate both competing programs to, say $49?And how come there’s no basis for this?
What just had happened to Final Cut Pro Studio Apps and FCP Express?
How many Pro Apps have Apple been killing lately? It’s hard to keep up.Most of the people I talk about in this thread are from iMovie.
FCPX is what they were waiting for. Hence X opening their projects.
And interestingly also the Studio ones too, mind you.
They wanted FCP X for a simple but more powerful experience.7 out of 8 liked a lot to play with iMovie in their iPads…
And Apple is working that out for them, that’s my point.
They will reign as a maker of “premium tablets” that are capable of editing.
In a world of tablets makers that’s how they’ll get differentiated.Apple is democratizing video technology to a much broader user base.
I feel this is accelerating, lately. It is fun to play with, actually.
Is it the “event horizon” coming? Then, what? “singularity”?
🙂 -
The sad part of all of this. IMHO;
Is that Final Cut Pro and iMovie will be consolidated in a near future.The logic is to drive consumers to iOS and streamline everything for this.
The App Store and iTunes along with iPhone and iPads will take over soon.This kind of abrupt disruption from a somewhat different past is what is hurting here.
Not that it doesn’t make sense but it is hurting nonetheless. -
Good input, thank you. We are all trying to figure this one out.
I believe it’ll take a worldwide brain to solve this puzzle.Or probably just time 🙂

You’re right.
It does [still] require a professional to run FCP X in some ways.
Thus we have light users messing up just to try to work it out.And yes.
X27 website is crystal-clear regarding not translating compound clips.
Apple also has pragmatically stated how to upgrade to its new NLE.Yet, people are making simple mistakes like those above.
The annoying part is to have people like me to pull it off for them.This is something like a spill over effect, you know?
It’s due to the perception of “easy-to-buy-it-and-easy-to-use-it”.I’m OK with that, now. Just wishing it could’ve been different.
-
OK, Craig as it is today, you’re quite right.
I meant it in a way to further consolidate their Mac computer line in the future.
As arm processors and touch surfaces evolve they will eventually kill it for good.Shortly, there will be no Mac Pros and Mac Minis, just Imacs.
After that happens only the iPad line and the iPhone line will survive.Makes sense? Consolidation of OS is coming too, remember?
-
I didn’t buy X. But let me break it down for you;
People directly and indirectly connected to whom I work with are NLE agnostic.
Heck, most never had one in the first place – but a few has had Studio.They own Macs,Iphones, Ipods and Ipads. They see a new release, they buy.
That’s fine for me BTW as it is a new medium that I relate to.So Apple is offering NLEs cheap to everyone, at their finger tips literally.
And it’s not the vloggers or youtubers crowd that are their only target.
Directors, producers, writers, cinematographers, ad agency types
and people working for clients in general who own Macs ARE jumping in.Well, at least some of them actually but the point was, this is a Beta Software.
Now I can’t work in peace anymore without someone having problems wtih it.
I’m not talking here about me or other editor who may be well-informed.
I’m talking about people who are now able to download it to their computers.Some are screwing up systems without following Apple’s directions.
Some had been loosing hours of work.
Others had bought new X27 to find out it doesn’t translate compound clips.
And so on, and on…Not everyone is fully acknowledgeable as Apple is making it look too easy.
And at the end of the day others will have to make it work for them.
It has been a tiresome task to deal with this poor release.
I am making some money out of this but in a way that I didn’t want to.Ultimately I realized Apple is going to kill its computer line.
Pro Apps that went south are the blurb behind the big writing on the wall.
